- Near the Bragan Mountains there is a townland called Cloughfinn. Long ago when Fionn Mac Cumhaill was in Ireland he visited a placed called Knocknamanny. Wishing to display his great strength before the people of the district, he lifted a huge stone weighing about ten hundreds and flung it to Cloughfinn a distance of about 8 miles. When he heard where the stone fell he said it slipped when leaving his hand. The track of Fionn's thumb can be seen in the stone to this very day.
